Everything’s been all “hon and dearie” (as my mother used to say) with the weather in Tucson. Sun shining, blue sky, warm breeze. Envy of the East.

But everything changed today. We had cloudy, we had stiff wind, we had blowing dust, we had dark clouds. We even had a raindrop, or two, or twelve. Mother Nature does her thing without regard for her children! But the sun, not to be overcome, finally appeared just at its setting time, and here’s the dramatic change of mood from yesterday captured on my Canon:

If J.M.W. Turner were alive and well and living today out in Arizona —- his kind of sky.

We’re here for a month of R&R after selling our house and moving into a new one over the mountains an hour away all in 5 1/2 weeks. The sun was helping, but for several days now it’s been struggling against overcast, and today was defeated by wind and rain — so rare in Arizona at this season! I hope we didn’t bring it along in our luggage, but one never knows.

The clouds, wind and sprinkles of rain make those precious few minutes of sunlight even more appreciated. I am glad you are able to enjoy a little R&R. I hope that the sunlight returns and continues to fill your Tucson sky.

Thank you for sharing the beautiful picture with us! I always enjoy seeing a view of the world other people are fortunate enough to experience! 🙂
